A Monument 10 Confederate
Dead.

Times Democrat.
There was meeting of the survivors of the
Twenty-frst, Twenty-second and Twenty
third regiment q Of Louisiana Volunteers, held
on Sunday, the object being to raise funds to
erect a shaft at Vicksburg in memory of the
Louisianians who were killed in battle ami
buried there. Col. l. w. Patton was elected
president and Victor Latour secretary. The
meeting was an harmonious one and resulted
in Col. Patton issuing the following circular :
New ORLEANS, May 2, 1887.
The surviving members of the Twenty first,
Twenty-second and Twenty-th;rd regiments
of Louisiana Volunteers, who entered the
service of the Confederate States in the first
year of the war, are anxious to erect a shaft
ut Vicksburg us d tribute to the memory of
their comrades who fell in defense of that po-
duty which deyolved upon the people of this
State, and which should long ago have been
performed They propose, in order to raise
the necessary means, to iDaugurate an excur-
sion to Vicksburg, the proceeds of which
shall be devoted to the erection of a monu-
ment ou or near the spot where their com
rades fell, as au evidence that the dead who
died in obedience to the call of their State
are still remembered. and appeal with conf
dence to the people of the State to aid rs in
carrying out this sacred duty.

Immigrants.

Two gentlemen from Kentucky.
Messrs. Scott and Lail, who have been
in our parish for several days looking
at our lands, left for their homes on
Tuesday last, after making arrange
ments with the Southwestern La. Land
Company for all the lands they wanted.
Mr.. Scott bought from the Company,
800 acres for himself nine miles west of
town, and was given the refusal of 1900
acres more which he desires to purchase
for relations and friends in Kentucky,
whom he expects to settle here between
this and next fall. Mr.. Lail engaged a
tract of 800 acres, twelve miles west of
town, and 700 acres more from other
parties, and expects to bring out seve-
raj families of relatives and neighbors
to settle here next fall. These immi-
grants live in the blue grass region of
Kentucky and are seeking homes in our
midst with a view of raising fine horses,
mules, sheep, &C., and to enjoy the adj
vantages of our superb climate.
These gentlemen were delighted with
the soil and climate of our country, and
say they are satisfied that blue grass
and other stock grasses will grow as
well here as in the north, and that fine
stock can be raised here easily on ac-
count of the miidness and equability of
our climate
As an inducement to invite immigra-
ton the Southwestern La. Land Com
pany offered them choice lands at lower
rates than usual, believing that with
the influx of such q solid class of set
tiers, that the material wealth of our
parish and section would be promoted,
and the value of real estate be enhanc-
ed in the future. IL is expected that
these gentlemen will bring a colony Of
about l2 or Is families next fall.
